The small town of Watseka located in the northeastern corner of the state and just a few miles from the Indiana border, was just like any other mid-western farm town in the late 1800’s. Little out of the ordinary occurred here…until July 1877. It was in this month that what become known as the “Watseka Wonder” first came to prominence here.

We investigated this graveyard after receiving a lead from a local police officer that reported that even he did not like walking the grounds and many times has heard voices and felt as if he was being watched.
